Laura Anzola's Voices

Discover "Voices" at Emmedia Gallery, an exhibition featuring the work of Laura Anzola that connects the experiences of Calgary's immigrant community with the majestic migrations of humpback whales. This exhibition features personal narratives broadcast through eight ceiling-hung speakers and an original surround sound composition, complemented by immersive hand-drawn animations. It delves into themes of migration, identity, power imbalances, and the quest for belonging, aiming to bridge gaps in understanding, foster empathy, and enhance connectivity in a world marked by visible and invisible borders.

Sandra Vida's Way Station

Employing subdued colour and an abstracted interplay of video images, Calgary artist Sandra Vida explores the legacy of cultural histories in the present. Based on personal reflections, and produced during the Covid pandemic, WAY STATION comes to grips with the oppression, violence and conquest that characterize most ancestral pathways. In response, she affirms hope for change, and performs rituals of healing, transformation, and regeneration.
